This friendly village local has never used handpumps: a range of four or beers are served on gravity, often featuring local breweries such as Tring and Oakham. It has been run by the same family since 2005 and has been in the Good Beer Guide for 20 years. It was refurbished under the new owners but the original character has been preserved by means of stone and wood floor, attractive fireplace and wood panelling. Popular with locals and walkers. Parking is in the village hall car park opposite.

Information for this venue is provided by the Herts/Essex Borders Branch of CAMRA
